Answer:

The correct answer is C.) conjugation

Explanation:

Bacteria can not reproduce sexually therefore to gain the variation in their genetics they take the help of horizontal gene transfer mechanism. These mechanisms include three processes called conjugation, transformation and transduction by which bacteria gain extra genetic material from outside.  

Conjugation is the process by which one bacteria gets the genetic material from another bacteria by making contact with each other with the help of sex pilli present on their cell surface.

These sex pilus of bacteria joins together and allow the movement of genetic material from donor to recipient bacteria. Therefore, the right answer is C.) conjugation.

Alecsey [184]

Answer: Ptolemaic system, also called geocentric system or geocentric model, mathematical model of the universe formulated by the Alexandrian astronomer and mathematician Ptolemy about 150 CE and recorded by him in his Almagest and Planetary Hypotheses. The Ptolemaic system is a geocentric cosmology; that is, it starts by assuming that Earth is stationary and at the centre of the universe. The “natural” expectation for ancient societies was that the heavenly bodies (Sun, Moon, planets, and stars) must travel in uniform motion along the most “perfect” path possible, a circle. However, the paths of the Sun, Moon, and planets as observed from Earth are not circular. Ptolemy’s model explained this “imperfection” by postulating that the apparently irregular movements were a combination of several regular circular motions seen in perspective from a stationary Earth.

Hydrothermal vents pump super heated salt water into the ocean that is filled with various minerals. Because of this, there is a
pychu [463]
This is absolutely false.
There is a wide diversity of life teaming around hydrothermal vents. These communities include primary producer organisms, but instead of obtaining energy from the sun, these bacteria use a process called chemosynthesis to convert minerals and other chemicals in the water into energy. These bacteria support a wide range of other animal species, including giant tube worms, deep sea mussels, serpulid or “feather duster” worms, and vent crabs, the apex predator of the vent community.
